Overview

In London, MI6 agent Hattie Shaw retrieves a programmable supervirus 'Snowflake' from Eteon, a techno-terrorist organization. She is ambushed by Brixton Lore, an ex-MI6 agent and Eteon operative strengthened with cybernetic implants. Hattie injects herself with the only dose of Snowflake before escaping. Brixton frames her for stealing Snowflake, forcing her to go on the run. Two years after Cipher's defeat, Luke Hobbs is an ex-DSS agent and Deckard Shaw, Hattie's older brother, is an ex-MI6 agent who was recently pardoned for his criminal activities. They are informed of the missing virus and, putting aside their past as fierce rivals, work together to track it down. Deckard goes to Hattie's apartment for information, but is attacked by Eteon operatives. Luke captures Hattie and brings her to a CIA office, but they too are attacked by Eteon forces. Hattie is kidnapped by Brixton, whom Deckard recognizes as an old colleague-turned-enemy he thought he had killed. Luke and Deckard rescue Hattie but Brixton frames all three as criminals via Eteon's control of global news media. The three locate Snowflake's creator Prof. Andreiko and learn that he purposed it to deliver vaccines. To prevent Eteon from using it to eradicate humanity, Hattie must either be cremated or have it removed with a specialized extraction device located at Eteon's facility in Chernobyl. The three manage to discreetly travel to Moscow under fake identities and infiltrate the facility. They retrieve the device but Andreiko is killed by Brixton and the device is damaged. Luke takes Deckard and Hattie to his childhood home in Samoa to visit his estranged brother Jonah, a talented mechanic, to repair the device. Luke has a tense reunion with his family, whom he has not seen for 25 years since he gave up his criminal father to the authorities. His mother convinces the family on the island to help Luke. The makeshift battalion prepares for Eteon's arrival, setting up traps around the island. Jonah successfully repairs the device and starts the virus extraction just as Brixton and his army arrive. Hattie deactivates Eteon's weapons for six minutes, letting the Samoans overpower them. Brixton recaptures Hattie with a helicopter, but the Samoans help Luke and Deckard bring the aircraft down. Luke and Deckard fight together to defeat Brixton, who is then deactivated remotely by Eteon's unseen director and falls to his (apparent) death. The director sends a message, implying he knows Luke personally and intending to recruit him and the Shaw siblings. In post-credits scenes, Luke brings his daughter to meet her extended family in Samoa for the first time, while Deckard and Hattie break their mother out of prison. Luke receives a call from his partner Locke, who has discovered a more threatening virus. Meanwhile, Luke sets the police in London on Deckard in retaliation for a prank Deckard pulled earlier.
